Partial sun exposure is best for this container. Use a yellow container to add extra cheer. Perfect as a front-porch display! Care: The container should be in good condition for at least two or three years. Cut back faded foliage in fall and tuck the container in a protected area, watering only when dry throughout the winter. Place it in a bright location in April and top-dress with a controlled-release fertilizer; water regularly as needed.
